The New York State Democratic Committee says it has raised more than $7 million over the past six months, as the latest filing period drew to a close on Thursday.

Such a figure would be an enormous haul for a year with no statewide races on the ballot in November, but isn’t entirely unexpected. The state Democrats have been airing ads touting Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s economic and social agendas since his State of the State address in January, which came as the business-backed Committee to Save New York—which had been blanketing airwaves with pro-Cuomo ads—largely ceased activity this year.
